With the last model year being 2004 (manufactured 03) for the air cooled Beetle it seems more than possible that 10 years later they would still sell this product in those markets for these engines. However VW does not recommended the product today for any of their water cooled engines including the water boxers that were used in the vans till 92.
If it was the be all and end all as you make it out to be why not? Because it turns the oil black? That kite wont fly, after all it didn't prevent them from recommending it for the Bug. They don't seemed bothered by diesel engines turning their oil black.
You said it yourself in that Subaru thread that it was for the air cooled engines, whats the problem, no one is arguing that. Everything i posted is factual and verifiable (RR FSM is a factual as i can find) if i posted something erroneous please point it out with some documentation to show it is incorrect.
You are doing more to discredit the product than promote it, any possible real benefits if there are any are being obscured by myths, stories and non existent manufacturers recommendations.

This ^^^^^^^ . You really need to give it a rest.
